Hawthorne & Heaney for Pip Howsen

Hawthorne & Heaney for Pip Howsen London Hand Embroidery

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful time developing this gorgeous velvet collar design for the lovely Pip Howeson.

We designed a flowing motif of a traditional oak leaf flourish to fit with the aesthetic of the jacket. Then, using machine embroidery, we were able to create three levels of texture to the piece using padding to give the leaves height and acorns height, then using the running stitch for detail. The pieces then when cut to the pattern piece create a symmetrical curve around the collar of the neck meeting at the nape.
